I posted the same at ADOM newsgroup a while ago, but someone there told me that MoM works too slow with DosBox. He gave link to an AbandonLoader in return, and it runs both MoM and Betrayal at Krondor. It seems the latter one is harder to get to work...
AbandonLoader can be downloaded from that page, but I haven't tested it myself... You are right about Dosbox being slow running Master of Magic but when I try to run MOM on AbandonLoader it gives me that "You must have 2700k of expanded memory" message without running the game at all. Anyone familiar with this that can help me out? Thanks for answering.
Edit: Ok, figured it out by reading the newbie guide to dosbox more closely. Running smoothly now.

I dont have any problems with MoM. Just keep adding cycles (STR + F12 if memory serves me right) until its fine.
One thing I did not like about MoM was the fact that Item creation took so very very long. Hurray for Dominions

Item Creation took so very very long only if you were a lousy wizard making an obscenely powerful item. Of course, you could also make very nice, obscenely broken items.

Re: OT: Flowers for the grave of MoM.
I didn't even like making them at all when I could find such nifty items in lairs and nodes !

Re: OT: Flowers for the grave of MoM.
MoM alone caused me to upgrade my computer. The animation for the nodes brought my 486 to a stuttering standstill. I loved the game enough to sink cash into a new system just to get that one part to run smoothly.
Dom2 might do the same for me now. I can run the battles smoothly with the 'world' hidden, but where's the fun with that? Lush battle graphics deserve to be seen!
MoM is still going to be #1 for me, at least until I start being able to stomp some races in Dom2. Gotta love the Myrror world!

Oh Wow! Your name just reminded me of a game that I really liked that I would love to find a copy of if there is one around. Empire of the Fading Sun. Flawed as it was, I loved that game and its flavor.

I still have everything installed, but have difficulty playing MoM and EoFS with my new Athlon2400xp rig - still in W98SE but my old mem settings with emm386 don't work anymore ...
